This is totally happening!

There is a vast, growing amount of experience and specialist knowledge, of reports and data. Many actions towards to achieve our goals from the Paris Agreement are not easily understandable and not as inspiring as they could be.

I would like to propose that we monitor actions and progress in a standardised way to combat climate change. There are so many good ideas! But there is no single place where people could get a glimpse and positive inspiration.

Dealing with the climate change is a global movement with local actors. Many different people are facing this challenge with the same goal in mind all over the world.
Only the very idea of being part of this movement is exciting and extremely encouraging!
Ideas can inspire people and fill them with the urge to do something that can take us forward.

We should not scare people with too much global data: Ideas and actions have to be provided in a simple, clear language that is easily understandable by citizens.

A pitch is usually the purposive delivering of a business plan to address potential investors. The ‚technology‘ behind this presentation is simple and typically structured. I want to use these existing forms and rhetoric methods to summarise the discussed ideas and actions of the COP 23 for a broader audience.

We don’t need more politically flavoured explanations, generalisations and a discussion of major global issues. We are no newspaper or magazine and don’t need to make any generally speaking research. But for example, recorded meetings, data and documents from the exhibitors and organisers can be used. Additionally one related link and a good speaking photo should be sufficient.

The selection of provided ideas has to focus on very specific ideas only. Ideas could be for example selected according to the SMART criteria:

Global problems need local actions and the knowledge to achieve this is obtained directly onsite. We don’t need a top-down communication but should allow different people to bring their own approach. Local communities generate their own knowledge, volunteers share their experience… This knowledge is usually very specific but could be adaptable or at least inspiring. Concrete actions are motivating and the experience helps us find new ways of doing things.
